The Kukra River (Spanish: Río Kukra; alternates: Rio Cookra, Rio Cucra, Rio Cukra, Río Cookra, Río Cucra, Río Cukra)[1] is a river of Nicaragua. It lies in the southeast of the country and is inhabited by two Rama communities and various mestizo settler communities. Much of the river falls within the Rama-Kriol Territory and is thus within the jurisdiction of the Rama-Kriol Territorial Government. It is located south of Bluefields and empties in Bluefields Bay.
